Great question, Bob Cline! “If you have trusted Christ as your Savior, (you are living today in a spiritual ‘Year of Jubilee.’) You have been set free from bondage.” --Warren Wiersbe Yes, YOU are the one who was bound, bound by sin and Satan. YOU have been set free from your BONDAGE TO SIN AND YOUR BONDAGE TO SATAN! “He [Christ] comes the prisoners to release, In Satan’s bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield.” --Philip Doddridge
